Artemis Gaunt absolutely loathes Sirius Black, and Sirius hates her just as much. Things just seemed to be getting worse between the two as the Marauders enter their seventh year, but when circumstances lead Artemis to the brink of sanity and Sirius steps up to save her, will everything change? Everybody hold on. The world just might be ending.

I knew I should have thrown away the first letter when it came. Who would write a love letter to Loony Lenny Crowley? Sirius Black, that's who. He's just as loony as me, I swear! Don't you worry, Black thinks he's writing to a gorgeous girl who will fall head over heels in love with him just because the "stars say they are destined". Pfft. As if.

James Potter has never had any luck with Lily Evans, until one day before Christmas during their seventh year, Sirius intervenes. Will this be the chance James has needed to convince Lily he's the man of her dreams?

Rivalry with the Gryffindors has always been standard for Melanie Hastings.

As Sirius led me around the room, I took a deep breath. "So, was it a bet or a dare?"
"What do you mean?" he asked. When his eyes drifted to James I grinned.
"Don't play dumb. You'd never ask me to dance in a million years. Besides, Potter just gave you the thumbs up."
He groaned. "Are we really that obvious? OK yes, it was a dare."

Attempting to be an overlooked wall feature, or perhaps an uninteresting shade of paint, was always easy for Claire. When an unlikely friendship falls between the previously unnoticed girl and Sirius Black, the difference between them is evident; that, of course, didn't stop him from throwing her into the innuendo-filled limelight...

I've just realised I never put up my thanks and acknowledgements for the amazing banner that was made for me and it's been so long I can't remember the name of the sensational artist - please PM me so I can make it right.

Calliope DeSole is not your average Remus Lupin fan girl. She doesn't giggle or smile at him when he walks by, she ducks around a corner. In fact, it's a difficult task getting her to talk to anyone. What's a voluntary mute to do when repeatedly shoved into situations with her secret crush? Review responses are delayed, sorry!
